Thank you Chuck!
Thank you Chuck! That is a great challenge. i am working to introduce more people to the blog and this is great way to help with those efforts.
I am posting a website that I read today about plastics in toys. Yet another challenge to become more environmentally responsible! This is a hard one – everything is made of plastic. A big thing is for people to challenge themselves to use less – something easily accomplished by buying goods in bulk or larger size packages and avoiding single use throw away products. We are fortunate to have Clear Creek Coop in town that allows members to purchase a VERY LARGE variety of goods in bulk. A few folks are also working to start a buying club to make purchasing large quantities of items such as flour and grains more managable. Check you local cooperative food stores or natural food stores for opportunities to purchse in bulk!
Here is the article regarding plastic in toys etc. http://www.thegreenguide.com/doc/Mag2/summertoys
And one on bpa in our plastic food and beverage containers. http://www.thegreenguide.com/doc/114/bpa
Looking forward to learning more ways that others are working to be environmentally responsible!
In the near future I will blog about diapers!

Hello – I am involved in sustainable development and want to pose a question that has been posed to me. Some people over 50 who experienced Earth Day I and have seen other surges and resurgences of attention to sustainability wonder whether the current spate of attention is merely a fad or whether it is here to stay. I am curious what evidence others can point to that would show this round is more than a passing fad.
